In clinical settings it is used for small precise incisions. For crafters and hobbyists it is ideal for intricate paper cutting, model making, engraving, and leatherwork where a compact, sharp curved blade is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the No.26 differ from the No.25 and No.25a blades?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe No.25 and No.25a are larger blades with a wider belly suited for broader cuts. The No.26 is smaller and more compact, making it better for fine detail work in confined areas. If you need a broad sweeping cut, choose the No.25; for fine precision work, the No.26 is the better option. All three fit the BM No.3 handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the No.26 blade good for model making and craft?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the No.26 is well suited to model making, paper crafting, and engraving where a small, sharp curved blade gives better control than larger profiles. Its compact size makes it ideal for intricate cuts on foam, balsa, card, and thin plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan the BM No.4 handle be sterilised between uses?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the BM No.4 stainless steel handle is fully compatible with autoclave sterilisation, hospital-grade liquid disinfectants, and UV sterilisation cabinets. Always inspect the handle before each use and replace if the blade-seating groove shows any signs of wear or damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the No.26 and No.18 blade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are small curved blades, but the No.26 has a slightly different curve geometry suited to fine trimming and detail work, while the No.18 is optimised for fine-line cutting and engraving. In practice both are used for similar detailed applications — the choice often comes down to personal preference and the specific procedure or project. Both fit the BM No.3 handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beauty Mercado","offers":[{"title":"5 Blades","offer_id":49505728201046,"sku":"SW3H26-5 Blades","price":7.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Blades","offer_id":49505728233814,"sku":"SW3H26-10 Blades","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 Blades","offer_id":49505728266582,"sku":"SW3H26-30 Blades","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Blades","offer_id":49505728299350,"sku":"SW3H26-50 Blades","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Blades","offer_id":49505728332118,"sku":"SW3H26-100 Blades","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/4781\/4998\/files\/swann-morton-5-blades-reusable-scalpel-handle-no-3-swann-morton-no-26-non-sterile-blades-58801540890966.jpg?v=1745054822","url":"https:\/\/www.beautymercado.com\/products\/reusable-scalpel-handle-no-4-swann-morton-no-26-non-sterile-blades","provider":"Beauty Mercado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
